BRANSON, Mo. (KYTV/Gray News) - Police identified the victim and a
shooter in a murder-suicide investigation at a Branson, Missouri,
apartment complex for seniors.

The incident happened on Thursday at the complex on Old Country
Road.

Whitney Davis, 47, of Branson, worked as the manager of the Branson
Manor. Police said Stephen Walsh, 77, of Branson, shot and killed
her.

Officers said they found Davis dead from a gunshot wound in a
management office, and they found Walsh dead from an apparent self-
inflicted gunshot wound. Police said they believe the incident
happened because of a dispute over the rent.

The clergy and the police liaison from Burrell Behavioral Health
assisted the residents, and the complex is working on getting
counselors to assist in the coming days.

Because of the initial reports of an active shooter, the Missouri
State Highway Patrol and the Taney County Sheriff’s Office were
requested to assist. The Branson Fire Department and the Taney
County Ambulance District also responded.

The Branson Police Department said the investigation is ongoing.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV) - A Park Hills man who is a convicted sex
offender is again facing prison time after federal agents found more
than 5,000 images of child pornography on his cellphone.

U.S. District Court Eastern District of Missouri records show James
Uebinger pleaded guilty on Thursday to one count of possession of
child pornography. He is set for sentencing on Jan. 24 and faces
anywhere from 10 to 20 years in prison.

Court documents show at the time of his arrest, Uebinger was on
lifetime federal supervision following a guilty plea in August 2012
to three counts of possession of child pornography. In that case, he
was sentenced to 10 years in prison and was released in September
2020.

Condition of his release included submitting to unannounced home
visits by federal probation officers and that any electronic devices
in Uebinger’s possession be approved.

During a July 15 visit, probation officers noted he had two
cellphones in his residence. Uebinger told the officers the second
phone was issued by his employer, but when officers examined the
device, they found he had been searching for pornography.

Uebinger told the probation officer there would be “a lot” of child
pornography on the cellphone and he was likely heading back to
prison, according to court documents.

A forensic exam of the device uncovered more than 5,000 images for
child pornography and 41 videos.
